Momcilovic? Or Allen Graves?

So you basically agreed with me. I know, I know... it's tough to give my comments a like or quote them and agree with them (since nearly every time someone quotes me they want to argue), but essentially you just agreed with what I said.

I threw you a like because you are a good poster. We are all just here posting our random opinions around on UK basketball.

Imagine that. Pitino and Louisville as the two to do battle with Kentucky. Color me shocked.

Louisville doesn't worry me, they've got guys on the bench of that $40 million roster that should be starting for other teams. St. John's is a bit of a concern because of the Pitino factor.

That said, it's really sounding like Moreno may opt to stay in the draft. Part of the allure of Graves TO ME was the fact that at 6'9", 220 he has the body, size and inside/outside game to play Center....IF Moreno doesn't return. Hopefully Malachi comes back and it's a moot point, but if he doesn't Graves is looking better and better as an option, even though it's unlikely he would pick Kentucky if he did forego the draft

More and more folks saying now they think Moreno comes back to college. These next nine days will certainly be interesting to say the least. Personally I think Moreno can make more coming back that he can staying and being a late first or early second round guy. I think if he puts in the offseason work he can easily play himself into the lottery next year. As for Momcilovic, Who knows, but yeah, I'll be really butthurt if he winds up at Louisville. And If he goes to St. John's, Pitino is back on our doodoo list. As far as him coming back to college, it's all got to be a discussion about ceiling for him. Will another year in college improve his draft stock? He can obviously make more, coming back, but does he want to risk possibly dropping next year in a stronger draft? Hoping he chooses to maximize his earning potential and come play for us next year. We can split the Stokes money between him and Moreno and feel pretty good about our roster if those two come back.

It is sounding more positive for Kentucky that Moreno may be returning now (THANKFULLY), but reports coming from the NBA draft process are a lot like the weather....things can change in the blink of an eye. That post was from almost a week ago, and at that time it was sounding like Moreno might stay in the draft (and he still might, for all we know). We don't know how this will turn out until he officially announces his return, but it was around a week ago that the New York Knicks worked him out and there was talk that they might take him with their first round pick, which is pick #24 overall.

EDIT: And now....a day later....most sources are saying it's 50/50 as to whether or not he turns pro or returns to college. Here's the latest video from Field of 68 After Dark saying exactly that:
